• Onboarding to Del Mar piece w/ video call for owner portal

Proactive 5-Star Service Delivery

• Home Visits: Physically visit each assigned property at least once per season, building the kind of hands-on familiarity that lets you catch and address issues in person before they grow.
• Project Coordination: Handle homeowner requests for tasks and projects from quoting through invoicing, keeping owners informed at every step along the way.
• Damage Reports: Triage and communicate any necessary guest damage reports to homeowners with speed and thoroughness.
• Pre-Arrival Reports: Review and approve reports before owner stays, resolving issues in advance so owners arrive at a home that's ready.
• Service Package Adoption: Guide homeowners toward the service packages that keep their homes in top condition year-round.
• Value-Added Services: Meet and exceed annual goals for selling and coordinating value-added services, keeping at least 85% of your portfolio engaged in non-reactive, proactive home care and maximizing property management revenue.

Reactive Service Delivery

• Issue Resolution: Monitor outstanding homeowner issues and work cross-functionally to close them out fully, not just quickly.
• Respond and Resolve: Meet every homeowner inquiry with readiness and enthusiasm, respond without delay, and see each issue through with empathy and efficiency to genuine resolution.
• ***review final invoices for owners - owner perspective when looking at anything- internal advocate- billing 

Offboarding

• Exit Management: Manage a homeowner's exit from the portfolio with care and minimal risk, targeting completion within 30 days of the rentable period's end.

Scorecards & Metrics

• Performance Tracking & Accountability: Manage individual and team metrics tied to owner experience, in-home care, communication, trust, and satisfaction. Take ownership of your scorecard results — consistently hitting target metrics and proactively closing any gaps you find or  bringing forward proactive solutions when performance dips, rather than waiting to be asked.
